Answer:

2, -4, -10 and -18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

x^2-3x+b      ...(i)

We need to find the 4 values of b which make the expression factorable.

A polynomial is factorable if both roots are real.

If \alpha \text{ and }\beta are two real roots of a polynomial, then the polynomial is defined as

P(x)=x^2-(\alpha+\beta)x+\alpha\beta         ....(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

\alpha+\beta=3     ...(iii)

\alpha\beta=b

For equation (iii), possible pairs of \alpha \text{ and }\beta are (2,1), (4,-1), (5,-2) and (6,-3).

From these ordered pairs the values of b are

b=\alpha\beta=2\times 1=2

b=\alpha\beta=4\times (-1)=-4

b=\alpha\beta=5\times (-2)=-10

b=\alpha\beta=6\times (-3)=-18

Therefore, the four possible values of b are 2, -4, -10 and -18.

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA), is the income source of last resort for thelow-income aged, blind, and disabled. As the nation's largest income-assistance program, it paid $38 billion in benefits in calendar year 2006 to roughly 7 million recipients per month. BecauseSSI is means tested, administering the program often requires month-to-month, recipient-by-recipient benefit recomputations. An increase in a recipient's income usually triggers a benefit recomputation. Or, an increase in the recipient's financial assets, which may render the recipient ineligible, would also prompt a recomputation. With this crush of ongoing recomputations, it is of little wonder that administrative simplification is a time-honored mantra for program administrators.

Find the value of x from the equation
Jobisdone [24]

\dfrac{8^{3x}}{2^{10}}=\dfrac{4^{2x}}{16} \\\dfrac{2^{3(3x)}}{2^{10}}=\dfrac{4^{2x}}{4^2} \\2^{9x-10}=4^{2x-2} \\2^{9x-10}=2^{2(2x-2)} \\2^{9x-10}=2^{4x-4} \\9x-10=4x-4 \\5x-6=0 \\5x=6 \\\boxed{x=\dfrac{6}{5}}

Hope this helps.
